Kinnus Weekend
May 24 – 27, 2013
Kinnus (Hebrew for “gathering”) Weekend returns on May 24-27th, 2013. Registration is now open for the three events that make up Kinnus Weekend.
Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, Webelos, Boy Scouts, Venturers, Girl Scouts, and their families are invited to experience Jewish Scouting including tons of activities, campfires, and kosher food. Jewish Scouts of all denominations and non-Jewish Scouts and their families are invited.
Kinnus weekend has two parts. The second part, The Kinnus Overnight runs from Sunday, May 26th at 10 AM through Monday, May 27th at 2 PM. The cost is $45 per person and includes:
• Four Kosher meals plus campfire snack
• Campsite for an enjoyable night of camping
• Sunday night campfire
• BB guns, crafts, and lots of other child friendly programming
2) Shabbat campout on May 24-26: From 6pm on Friday May 24th through Sunday morning. Orthodox Shabbat observance includes full services and Torah reading Saturday morning and a relaxed, unprogrammed afternoon. The cost for the Shabbat campout is $60 per person and includes 5 kosher meals, a campfire, and two-night campsite. Contact Stan Friedman at (213) 629-1500 or friedman03@aol.com for more information. Out of respect for all, Shabbat campers must arrive prior to 6 PM in order to have enough time to pitch their tent and otherwise prepare for Shabbat in time.
These events take place at beautiful Camp Josepho in the Santa Monica Mountains just 30 minutes from the 405 at Sunset Boulevard and is now open for registration. Jewish and non-Jewish Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, Webelos, Boy Scouts, Venturers, Girl Scouts, and their families are invited.
